I guess if Video games and Drinking are considered equal Threats now (backed by these so-called facts) then I would have a pretty good case against the makers of the game "Tapper"
And if you knew shit about Windows you might have sticked with it. Or are just making this shit up just to fit in with the Anti-MS crowd??
Learn to hammer down a Windows box and then try opening your mouth again. Maybe next time a whole bunch of Bullshit won't come out. Come to think about it, try posting your IP so we can come own your current setup.
If you can't control your Windows Boxen, they you most likely can't control your *nix boxen either.
It's a shame that even though we try to discuss this problem, it seems that many don't get the point. This has nothing to do with any specific OS is question.
Both Windows and [place your OS here] will most likely have issues getting rooted if it's "Swinging in the Breeze" with your average user at the controls.
Also to keep in mind is if all OS's were stock with a Firewall/IDS solution in place, they would break applications for users and that would cause YET another problem. NAT works well, but carries with it a set of unique issues for some (most commonly) game players.
User education is the best bet, but users don't want to take all the spare time they have to learn all the extra stuff they SHOULD know about owning a computer on a broad band connection.
We can only hope as time goes by, the now youthfull who know something about computers because they grew up with them will slowly start to crowd out the script kiddies and bastards who are looking for the "Easy Kill" due to computer operation Common Sense!!!
